They are all still running V6.2 and have old hacks. I tried the "no slices" upgrade from V6.2 to V6.2a a while back, but it did not seem to work... of course, the time displayed in the schedule was off for an hour during the DST weeks between the old and the new.

I do have the V6.2a slices in my MFS SwSystem directory.

I need a sanity check that my planned steps to a hacked V6.2a system are correct:

That should work fine. tweak.sh itself never changes - it's just a wrapper script that downloads and installs the latest version of the main script, which is called start.sh. One more thing you'll need to do is reapply superpatch. Follow the link in the Zipper directions to download the 6.2a version from DDB.

I upgraded using Sapper and Slicer from 7.2 to 9.1 After I applied the slices I lost my network connection. Could not telnet or perform FTP.

I have a Toshiba sd-h400 series 2 box

The steps I took.

1. Used SApper to apply a new image
2. Setup the network with Static IP
3. Script ran just fine no errors.
4. Put HD back in box
5. Ran Sapper script for remaining hacks
6. Verified it all worked. And it did after guide setup.
7. Verified that 9.1 update was brought down and waiting to be installed.
8. Ran Slicer with no problems or errors.
9. Lost network connectivity after that. IP is still there but no Signal present.

My Question is did I do something wrong here?

And if this is what happens!! then how do I restore the network back? so I can Telnet, FTP and get guide info again.

As you can tell I'm kind of new at this. Last time I touched the box was a year ago.

I have found that every single time I use Slicer, I've lost all telnet access, and rezippering never has worked to restore it. I end up having to Instantcake the whole thing from scratch. Because of this, I have abandoned the use of Slicer altogether.

This is why I'd recommed to read thru the scripts you're using to get at least get some idea of what they're doing. Reimaging just because of lost telnet access is COMPLETELY unneccesary.

Well that's not good news.

I'm not sure if I have a driver issue because I'm going from 7.2 to 9.1.
My last go around I answered yes to the question about the 2.0 usb drivers needed to be downloaded and applied. First time I did not do that. But I'm not to keen on applying the slices and finding out that I need to do this all over again.

The fact that it says no signal makes me think it may be a driver issue. The USB device is a Linksys WUSB11 USB WiFi Wireless TiVo Adapter. Has been running well since Oct of 2006.

I now have it back on 7.2 with everything working again. If I run Slicer my thinking is it's going to wack the network again Unless the 2.0 drivers are required with 9.1 upgrade.

Odd. I've only had the Slicer fail once and that was due to impatience. I though it had died and ended up rebooting into a clean image so had to Zipper myself back to happiness.

Since then I've had no issues. Run the Slicer per instructions, followed the prompts, walked away for 15 minutes or so, came back and hit a return (in some cases the process completed without returning the prompt) and finished out to a hacked latest version.

Seems to randomly reboot every once in a while. Have any idea what causes that? Or is there a specific log I can look into to see what may be causing it to happen. everything else sems to be fine, I have ftp, telnet and the wifi seems to be all working fine.

I guess I could do it all over again but I thought I would ask first.

My assumption in doing all this is that I must upgrade to 9.1 in order to keep my guide coming in. Is that correct or could I just stay at 7.2 forever?

Update #2 - Looks like the rebooting issue has gone away for now. After doing it 3 times or so it has ot done it since I wrote this post the first time.

I am using PTVnet with the InstantCake 6.2 CD's. Everything worked great. I then applied the Enhancement script. using the enhanced mode. I updated the USB drivers when instructed. Could not connect to the Tivo. I then pulled the harddrive (again sigh) and reinstalled the PTVnet and InstantCake. Again everything worked fine. I then applied the Enhancement Script and decided not to update the USB drivers.

That is the only change I made. Now the system keeps rebooting right after the AlmostThere.png screen comes up.

I also created a new AlmostThere.png screen. Bliss with a couple changes. Just remove Bliss from the title and FTP to the correct folder.

Edit 1: Ok I did the same thing and bypassed the DHCP and the USB installs. Endless reboot gone but now no networking. Is there a way to get networking without the endless rebooting?

Tivo is very picky about the format of the splash screen graphic, and if it's not exactly right, your tivo will reboot endlessly. There's some specific information about it earlier in this thread (here). I posted some correctly formated splash screens here.

I was able to use your script without the rebooting problem after I decided not to do anything with the USB or network stuff. The rebooting problem started before I changed any PNG files. My AlmostThere,png works fine on my tivo.

What I would like to do is skip the USB and DHCP network stuff altogether. I have pulled my drive (left the top off the Tivo for now) at least 5 times. Using PTVnet and InstantCake 6.2 it works great but I would like to use 90% of your enhancements. I have tried to install the enhancements several times trying something different each time.

I cannot get the network to connect. I am using a TrendNet TU2-ET100. I would like to keep the PTVnet with InstantCake USB & Network drivers. Is there a way to make a new script that does not run either of those. Saying no to the questions for network and USB doesn't matter it still won't connect. If you know of any other reason why my network won't connect after I run your script let me know.

I just uploaded a new version that should fix your issue. I don't have time to test it fully right now, but it should work. A few things to note:

If the script detects that you have PTVnet, it will prompt you for some network information, like static IP or DHCP. You can't skip that, or the script will exit.

The script sets up networking by inputting network parameters in the MFS database, which is different than how PTVnet does it. It replaces the PTVnet rc.sysinit.author file completely, and removes the /test.conf file in /init directory used by PTVnet to set up networking.

I thank you for the update I will check it out. However, I want to stay away from changing how PTVnet sets up the networking because it works. Can you tell me what it is about your script that you think will work? Cause I have no trouble with the way PTVnet does it. Is there a way to just skip the network setup in your script?

You can't skip it. The way the script does it is the preferred method.

If I copy out the rc.sysinit.author from the /etc/rc.d/ folder and the MFS database (if I knew where it was located) run your script and then while I still have a networking connection (Doesn't fail till I install your script & reboot) transfer those files back and then reboot.

Now that I have my Series 2 back up and running after using SApper and Slicer. Would I have any issues or what should I be aware of if I wanted to now apply Hackman to the box. I thought I recall that SApper moves the hacks around or somethng like that!!
Any suggestions? Don't do it!! Go ahead.. no problem!! ??

Nothing to worry about if you read the Hackman readme first.

I looked and the test.conf file is already gone anyway.

Do you think that would work?

BTW where might I find this new update?

Also can I just install your version of TWP? and how?

Running tweak.sh again automatically downloads and runs the latest script. After you run it, you shouldn't have to do anything else.

clock.sh is a script I wrote awhile back that is indeed included in the enhancements directory. It relied on a font downloaded from the internet which apparently is no longer available. I haven't had a chance to update it, and it's not high on my priority list. Any takers are welcome to it.
